Pat O'Shane has just 15 sitting days left

NSW magistrate Pat O'Shane has just 15 sitting days left next year before she retires, a hearing into her conduct has been told.

Therefore, there is no point in referring her to state parliament for the consideration of her removal from office, Ms O'Shanes's lawyer told the conduct division of the NSW Judicial Commission in Sydney on Tuesday.

Ms O'Shane appeared at the inquiry but did not to give evidence relating to complaints she failed to behave impartially in four cases in the last five years.

The complaints include allegations the local court magistrate asked inappropriate and offensive questions of witnesses, perversely dismissed charges, made unjustified findings that police officers gave dishonest evidence and treated police prosecutors in a "discourteous, pre-emptory and high-handed way".
